Issue Summary

A few Xray fields unexpectedly updated, while only the field referenced in the script should be updated.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download Jira 10.3.9/9.12.22 and download Xray and Scriptrunner plugins.

2. Configure an issue in such a way that a few Xray customfields are populated (Test Execution Defects, TestRunStatus). 

Scenario using Jira API code (IssueInputParameters):

3. Run the following code in the ScriptRunner console:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
def issueService = ComponentAccessor.issueService
def issue = Issues.getByKey('XRAY-6')
def author = Users.getLoggedInUser()
def issueParams = issueService.newIssueInputParameters()
issueParams.setSkipScreenCheck(false)
issueParams.addCustomFieldValue(10331, 'textusingscript_false')
def validationResult = issueService.validateUpdate(author, issue.id, issueParams)
if (validationResult.isValid()) {
    def issueResult = issueService.update(author, validationResult)
} else {
    log.error "Error"
}

4. Check the History of the issue updated (9.12.22) and notice the field "Test Execution Defects" which appears as being updated:

Scenario using Scriptrunner's HAPI Java API:

3. Run the below script from Scriptrunner console: 

def issue = Issues.getByKey('TEST-1')
issue.update {
    setSendEmail(false)
    setSkipScreenCheck(true)   // <-- This triggers the problem
    setEventDispatchOption(EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH)
    setSummary("Updated summary test")   // <-- system field setter
}

4. We can see that a few Xray fields (Test Execution Defects, TestRunStatus) are also shown as modified along with the Summary field, although there is no NEW value present for them.

DOS investigation summary has been added to the comment section of the ticket (internal). Please refer.

Expected Results

The 'Summary' field is only updated as per the script

Actual Results

Additional Xray fields are updated along with Summary field.

Workaround

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
